Terrific work as usual! I don't care much for the robot eye/tentacle thing (design-wise) but it looks beautiful nonetheless. ^_^

The details of this one are unbelievable amazing....it looks like a photo in some parts. The angel catches the eye, looking so deeply infured but also cold as ice. All this destruction around is very intensive...some words come to my mind when looking at this: "The great mercy of God destroys in all splendour and marvellousness, because all of this love was never made for mankind." (Alexander Kaschte) I'm sorry, the original words are in German and I'm a miserable translater, hoping that you understand waht I mean, because that's exactly what this picture means to me.

Danke... Du hättest das Zitat aber auch in Deutsch schreiben können, Nordrhen-Westfalen gehört auch noch zu Deutschland und ein wenig bin ich sogar der Sprache mächtig

*mit der hand vor die Stirn klatsch* Tut mir Leid, ich bin manchmal echt ein blindes Schaf. Also, hier nochmal im Original: "Gottes große Güte zerstört mit ganzer Pracht und Herrlichkeit, denn alle, alle Liebe war nie für Menschenhand gemacht." (Immernoch Herr Kaschte)

awesome work
love how you layout your work
But the detail is just mad... n for it to be traditional work- that just makes it madder

I thought this looked familiar! I this very much! Its a very spooky reminder of what our future may hold for us if we aren't careful.

Oh wow, traditional? I would've been sure this was a digital painting, must have taken a lot of skill to make this looks so smooth & polished.
The ghost really adds a great dimension to the piece, while the city is abandoned & dead, the ghost seems to add that haunted sense at the same time, like something evil lurks there.

Sehr gut, besonders technisch! Ich kann persönlich mit dem Cyborg Auge nichts anfangen aber das ist wohl Geschmackssache

als Illustrator muss ich halt das malen, was der Kunde verlangt

I love the tone of this painting. The mechanical gripper holding the eye as it protrudes from the skull is a nice touch. The brighter blue of the eye's iris stands out best to me. It seems to be a warning to keep our eyes on the way things are today, at least from the standpoint that we have yet to undergo a real apocalypse.

Woah, I looked at the other stages in your scraps, and I'm really surprised at how it turned out. I could definately see all the hard work you went through. At first I thought it was going to have brownish color tone, because that's the color it was in the other stages. However, now I could definately see that you used alot of layers to get to this final piece. And this is made with acrylics? But it looks so smooth! When I use acryllics, it never looks like that 
But anyways, if you were trying to make the angel person stand out, then I think you definately succeeded in doing so. She's like the first thing I see when I look at the painting.

The acrylics I am using are thinned by me with water. Usually I use acrylic inks AERO COLOR (by Schmincke) and acrylic colours LIQUITEX... for the smooth layers I am using airbrush

Ooh, okay. I guess it's true, the better the quality of your supplies, the better the art
